There is a process for contributing to a neglected module discussed at https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=pause_04about#takeover. Given the three year passage of time since the last apparent CPAN activity of the author and the fact that there are outstanding bugs that are at least that old I suspect that the PAUSE admins would look kindly on a request to assist in the maintenance of this module.

Yes, I also noticed that oddly named module, although my interest wasn't sufficiently peaked to actually investigate it. ;)
